What I do is I stream at 960 width (height varies depending on widescreen or full screen) and then I offer the HD versions as downloads. You can not notice the difference between the quality of the video when full screen watching 960 vs 1920 and streaming 1920 is not practical for most people. The fps are usually 23 or 29 for most videos and I wouldnt go below 23 because the video will look choppy. As far as bitrate you want to just convert a sample clip several times and reduce the bitrate until you can visually notice the quality drop - there is a break off point for most software where the video degrades and you want to stop right before that point. If you are using the same camera you should be able to find a happy setting and use it for everything. Hope some of that helps.
